Classic HorsePower Scratch GT40

Not a lot of pics & visible progress since my last update. However, it was time to finalize AC hose fittings and lengths as well as crimping them in final form. Made the drier bracket and installed onto the front RH side panel after checking clearances and hose routing. Awaiting for the engine to be placed back into the car for the last two hoses from the rear bulkhead to the compressor.

Also spent time repositioning the rear clamshell now that the ride height and wheel alignment was mostly finalized. I found that I need to lower the back of the shell about 5/8” to make things line up better and more level/ reduce fender gap over the rear tire. While doing this work I snapped a good pic with how the underside is super flat and smooth. I do have plans for a full covered pan with removable front and rear sections and possible rear diffuser.

Also most recent work was on the cardboard mockup of the inner rear wheel well liners before fabrication and fiberglass into place. My biggest concern was leaving enough room for the bundle of snakes and best direct airflow for the side scoops to provide flow to the rear openings.

Jumping around various tasks lately. Today’s effort was starting on the center console & tunnel cover. Figured I needed to get the electrical cutoff switch location finalized and how all the remaining system cables, hoses and wires will be routed and secured in the footwells.
